Hi,

I wasted many years of my life at Compete obsessed about "data visualizations" only to learn that no one except me and my statistical team cared about them. Please don't waste as much time as I did playing with exotic visualizations.

- Ardit20 16y agoHe asked if you could explain them, specifically what they are about I think.
- dcancel 16y agoSorry not sure what you mean. Do you mean explain what a line, bar & pie chart are good for?
- Ardit20 16y agoOhh I am sorry I thought you were emphasising the data the charts were measuring rather than the actual types of chart themselves! If you only mean that we should use only line, bar or pie charts, then I would say that scatter graphs at time have a good use of showing outliers, such as some guy who spends say ten minutes on the site, or visually able to show for example how many people spend ten minutes and how many 3. Communicate in other words much more information than a line, bar or pie chart can at times. I mean, people did not invent these other charts for no reason :)
